AN EASTERN PILGRIMAGE 



* ' 






^^^HE EAST, our own "Down East," is a tamed country. It has taken over two centuries to clear the land, to build the 
towns, and to connect them by railroads and electricity, but it has been well done. Some parts are still a little rough, 
but the roughness is now cherished, because, forsooth, they need it. But it's the old homestead that forms the magnet that 
l 3|5* draws people east. The new ranch may be a hundred times bigger and better stocked, but oik's love goes out to the old 
dormer-windowed, mossy-shingled farmhouse, and the old oaken bucket. There has grown up in the hearts of the bustling, struggling, 
success-winning Westerners, very many of whom are sons of New England or of New York, a strong affection for the motherland of 
the East, the»country of small farms, intervale meadows, and hip-roofed houses with wide fireplaces and orchards of gnarled old trees 
down behind the smokehouse. We gaze with pride upon our great elevators, our improved farm machinery, and our pretentious high 
schi >i 'Is, and we look back with affection on the old corncrib set upon inverted milk pans, the tread-mill thresher, and the old red school- 
house. And when we get the time we make a journey to this Mecca of ours, to the sacred fanes of the East, and " all the loved 
spots that our infancy knew." There are more places dear to memory or made sacred by tradition and legend in this beautiful eastern 
country of ours than anywhere else on the continent. Or talking of pleasure tours, the whole country from Chicago up to tin Soo 
and from Chicago to the White Mountains and Passamaquaddy Bay is one great series of summer resorts; a pleasure park all made to 
order and fitted up with every possible device that experience and ingenuity can suggest for the convenience and comfort of visitors. 
It may indeed be said that there is no such favored region in all the world as this great park, as it may be called, which is traversed 
from west to east by the .Michigan Central, "The Niagara Falls Route," and its connections ; no territory anywhere of equal size 
containing such lakes and rivers, such mountains, forests, and cataracts. Europe, it is true, has her Alps, her Rhine, her Black Forest. 
and her Riviera, but no discriminating American would take them in exchange Eoi

Many are more or less familiar with this region, or with parts of it, but for the benefit of those whose strenuous life has not 
permitted them to do more than make, perhaps, hurried trips between metropolis and metropolis, some brief description, shorn of the 

adjectives and the florid boastings of the boniface, may not be unwelcome. 

"Through the Garden of Michigan 

Starting at Chicago from the beautiful Central Station on the lake front, one can not 
help admiring the fine vista of Michigan Avenue, with its Art Institute and magnificent 
hotels, and the broad sweep of the mile-long park, with the silvery bosom of Lake Michigan 
beyond.. From the windows of our comfortable Pullman car we look out upon.the lake and 
catch glimpses of parks and boul- 
evards as we roll rapidly and lux- 
uriously onward. We take our 
meals leisurely in the dining car 
— and better we never ate ; we 
read the magazines or selections 
from the Booklovers Library pro- 
vided free from the buffet-library 
car, where we can also write letters 
or be shaved, and we enjoy a feel- 
ing of rest and calm content. 

At Michigan City we take our 
last view of Lake Michigan and 
notice with curiosity the great 
sand dunes which rise like a wall 
between the shore and the tracks. 
A little farther on is Three Oaks, 
which boasts one of Dewey's cap- 
tured Spanish guns. 





The Central Stati 



of the Garden Stations of the Michigan Central 



At Niles there is a pretty station in a neatly kept park, with greenhouses, where plants are grown to supply the numerous 
other station gardens along the line, no less beautiful than this. And presently comes a boy with bouquets and boutonnieres for the 
passengers, with the compliments of the Michigan Central. From Niles also the " Air Line " of this mad runs to Diamond Lake and 
other pleasant spots in Southern Michigan. 

Kalamazoo is also a place of interest, being a manufacturing town of importance and the junction with the Michigan Central's 
South Haven Branch, and with the G. R. & I. for trains for Grand Rapids and Northern Michigan. 

Northern Michigan 

Northern Michigan has especial attractions for four classes of people. 

The great summer resorts are patronized by thousands of society people, 

while large numbers of sportsmen in rough and ready attire Hock to the 

streams and lakes for the delights of angling. Many others seek the 

quiet retreats which are scattered all over the peninsula, for the sake of 

rest and the pure invigorating air, while a fourth class are drawn by 

the summer schools and conventions which are held at Bay View and 

e, offering the double opportunity of improving the mind and 

ening the body at the same time. 

The through sleepers of the Michigan Central in connection with 

! Rapids & Indiana from Chicago to Mackinaw make the first 

t stop at Grand Rapids, the metropolis of Western Michigan. 

Northward is Cadillac and Round Lake with a branch to Traverse City, 

a pretty town at the head of Grand Traverse Bay, Omena, Northport, Bay View Assembly Grounds 

and the resorts on the Lclanau Peninsula. Boyne Falls is not Ear from Pine Lake, upon the western end of which is Charlevoix, well 
called "The Beautiful." But the principal resorts on this line are Petoskey, Bay View, and Harbor Springs, on the shore of Lake 
Michigan, delightful plates of a quiet, healthful charm that wears well to the season's close, and which bears but lightly on the purse. 
There are many excellent fishing lakes and streams in this vicinity, and good camping grounds, which may be rented for a nominal 
sum. Alden, Central Lake, and Bellaire are also popular resorts. 




At Mackinaw City, the terminus of the Mackinaw Division of the Michigan Central and also of the G. R. & I., the through sleeper 
for Sault Ste. Marie is taken by the car ferry to the old French mission settlement of St. Ignace, directly across the strait. At Soo Junc- 
tion connection is made by the D. S. S. & A. for Marquette, the Keweenaw Peninsula, and Duluth. The region round about is filled 
with delight for the fisherman and the hunter, and the cool summers and the clear, dry air, laden with the healing essences of the 
balsam and the pine, make it a resort par excellence for those seeking rest and health, and who desire to escape the conventionalities 
and extravagances of" the fashionable watering place. 

Mackinac Island lies at the eastern entrance oi the strait of the same name, and is celebrated far and wide as "The Fairy Isle." 
The greater part of the island, with the famous old fort, where once waved the flag of France, is now a State park. Mackinac ( note 

that the name of the island is always spelled in the French way 
and is pronounced " Mackinaugh") is famous for its picturesque 
and beautiful scenery and is freely conceded by travelers who 
have been everywhere to possess a charm peculiarly its own. 
Its wonderful Arch Rock, ranks with the Natural Bridge of Vir- 
ginia, and the island has many surprises for the geologist and 
botanist. Mosquitoes are unknown, and the highly ozonized air 
induces an appetite that is almost abnormal. The hotels are first 
class and the accommodations, even in the height of the season, 
usually ample. The island is reached, as above described, from 
Chicago via the through trains of the Michigan Central and the 
G. R. & I., or from Detroit and the East and South by the through 
trains of the Mackinaw Division of the Michigan Central. 

Les Cheneaux Islands ( The Snows ), about a hundred in 
number, lie clustered together in Lake Huron some fourteen 
miles northeast of Mackinac. During the season the stanch 
little steamer Islander affords daily communication. Bass, perch, 
muskallonge, Mackinac trout, pickerel, and pike abound in these 
waters. Guides and boats may be obtained at reasonable rates. 





Michigan Central Station, Battle Creek, Mich. 



One may have a good day's sport and return to Mackinac Island in time for supper. Bois Blanc is a much larger island to the southeast 
of Mackinac, and here is Point aux Pins, an old and popular resort. Enjoying to the full the delights of the angler, or simply forget- 
ting all cares, and loafing on three good meals a day, amid most 
delightfully quiet and beautiful surroundings, it is something of a 
bore to be reminded that one is distant but a night's ride from 
Detroit or Chicago. Returning to the main line of the Michigan 
Central, which we left at Kalamazoo, we must mention briefly 
the most important points on the way to Detroit. 

Battle Creek is a thriving town with an interesting history. 
Its name is often met with in out of-the-way places, in foreign 
lands, upon barrels of plaster of paris, threshing machines, and 
furniture, but most of all on breakfast foods, of which a hundred 
kinds are manufactured here. The great Medical and Surgical 
Sanitarium, with its fireproof structure, most thoroughly equipped, 
and accommodating Soo or 1,000 patients, has a world-wide rep- 
utation, and branches in various capitals of Europe, in India, 
Australia, and Japan. 

Jackson is an important center from whence two branches of 
the Michigan Central diverge, one to Grand Rapids and another 
through Lansing, the beautiful capital city, to Saginaw and Bay 
Citv, noted for their lumber, salt, and coal, and northward on the 
east side of the peninsula to Mackinaw. 

At Roscommon and Grayling, nearly in the center of the 
peninsula, is found the justly celebrated Au Sable River of Mich- "" "" """"■ """' unm «■>"'"•"»'» 

igan, preeminently the finest waters in the State for angling, furnishing ideal sport to both fly casters and bait fishermen (for 
the latter need feel no shame) in the tortuous course of the main river and its tributaries. Near by, too, are Higgins, Houghton, 
and other fine lakes.

The Angler's Paradise 

Mr. Chas. E. Brewster, Chief Deputy Fish and Game Warden, writes in The American Field: 

"If I were asked what, in my judgment, were the finest trout streams in Michigan, I should answer, without hesitation, the 
Au Sable River. Flowing through a country but little settled — fed by innumerable creeks of pure spring water — its source near 
Otsego Lake, it flows southeast a distance of 150 miles, emptying into Lake Huron at Oscoda. * * * The trout as a rule run very large, 
and it is no unusual thing for an expert angler to find in his day's catch half a dozen rainbows weighing more than three pounds 
each, while occasionally trout are taken so large that were I to give the exact weights, I would be liable to be accused of telling 

" fish stories." 
X:i _ £,. The country through which the Au Sable hurries for fifty miles after 

it leaves Grayling is almost a wilderness, and is visited during the 
hunting season by more hunters and trappers than any other locality in 
Michigan. The swamps and hardwood timber furnish shelter for deer, 
and frequently bear, while along the river are found otter, mink, and 
■ iccasionally beaver. 

The Au Sable River boatmen," or guides, have agreed that they will 
hereafter carry but one passenger in each boat, and a uniform rate of 
82.50 per day will be charged. They will furnish boat, tent, dishes, and 
their own blankets, make camps, and cook if necessary. 

The south branch is best reached from Roscommon, the east branch 
from Frederick, while the main river is easily reached from Grayling, on 
the Mackinaw Division of the Michigan Central. 

The- Michigan Central is the direct and practically the only route to 
this paradise of the angler, and its through train service from Chicago and 
Detroit has made it exceedingly popular with all true sportsmen. 

Special folder on Northern Michigan resorts will be sent on appli- 
cation. 




Fishing for Pickerel on the An Sable Rim 



46 




Mullet Lake and Pike's Summer Tauern 



Topinabee, twenty-eight miles south of Mackinaw City, is a natural sanitarium for hay 
fever sufferers, who here find immediate relief. The grounds, rising in terraces from Mullet 
Lake, are covered with spruce and hemlock timber and carpeted with arbutus and sweet 
fern. It is one of the best points for rod fishing, bass, pickerel, wall-eyed pike, and perch 
being abundant in the lakes, with good trout and grayling streams near at hand. The San- 
itas spring water is of remarkable purity, and has been selected, after the most careful tests, 
for use in the Michigan Central dining cars. A number of cottages in the vicinity are owned 
by residents of Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and other cities, and there is room, without dis- 
agreeable crowding, for hundreds more upon the shores of the numerous connecting lakes. 
Pike's Summer Tavern is an excellent hotel with the best of accommodations and service. 
Topinabee has constant telegraph 
and telephone connection with 
the outer world, and through 
trains daily to Detroit, Toledo, 
Buffalo, and Chicago. 

Inland Route. A delightful 
trip, not to be omitted, is by the 
little steamers of the Inland 
Route, running from Cheboygan 
up the river and through Mullet 



Lake, landing at Topinabee for dinner ; thence through the tortuous 
mazes of Indian River, Burt Lake, Crooked River, and Crooked Lake to 
Oden, whence a waiting train takes the tourist to Petoskey in ample time 
for supper. Lakewood, Indian River, and Columbus Beach are points 
where hotels or cottages may be found, realizing the quiet man's ideal 
of a rational, healthful, and restful summer retreat. 




A Comfortable Log Cottage at Topinabee 




Pike's Summer Tavern, Topinabee, Mich. 



Returning to the main line at Jackson, the next stop 
is at Ann Arbor, the beautiful seat of the University of 
Michigan, one of the largest and most important institu- 
tions of learning west of the Atlantic seaboard. Ami 
Arbor is the center of a rich agricultural country, and 
is notable not only for the park-like elegance of the city 
itself but for the beautiful drives in the vicinity and the 
boulevard above the Huron 
River. 

Ypsilanti is a pretty 
little city whose station park 
and greenhouses have been 
taken as models all over the 
country. Here the expert 
gardener of the Michigan 
Central has done some re- 
markable things in the way 
of floral monuments, battle- 
ships, locomotives, bridges, 
constructed on a large scale 
and composed of thousands 
of plants. The Moorman 
well and saline baths have a 
wide reputation. 
The accompanving illustration shows a view of the monument in commemoration of the destruction of 
the Battleship Maine in Havana harbor in iSqS. Some 1800 plants were required in its construction, and 
it attracted the attention of gardeners of Europe as well as America. Floral Monument, rpsiianti(

Detroit may be properly classed as a summer resort, and situated as it is 

upon the Detroit River, a broad and beautiful strait between the two great 

lakes of Huron and Erie, with Lake St. Clair considered as an enlargement of 

the river, few cities can boast of a finer or healthier site. While we can not 

pause here to dwell upon the many intensely interesting features of the history 

of Detroit, which may be considered as an epitome of the central West, 

though geographically more east than either west or central, there is one 

figure that can 
not be over- 
looked in con- 
sidering the

city, and that is General Cass, a patriot and soldier, who broke his sword 
in indignation at the surrender of the post by his chief to the British in 
1S12, and who, in his subsequent career as Governor, Secretary of War, 
minister to France, and Secretary of State, was for half a century the 
foremost figure of the city of Detroit and the State of Michigan. Detroit 
is full of beauty, sweetness, and light, and its island parks, the finest

that one stands in the center, commercially speaking, of the greatest

St. Clair Springs, one of the most popular watering places in Michigan, is pleasantly located on the St. Clair River, about half 
way between Lakes St. Clair and Huron. The walks and drives in the vicinity are very pleasant, and there is boating, sailing, 
hunting, and fishing on the river and fiats close bv. The waters of the St. Clair mineral spring are of the same class as those of the 
German saline spas, but move powerful than most of them. The 
baths, hot and cold, are no less delightful than curative, and 
give to the enfeebled system tone and vigor, to wan cheeks the 
ruddy glow of health, and add new zest to life. 

Orion Lake, forty miles north of Detroit, on the Kay City 
Division of the Michigan Central, is a beautiful sheet of water 
covering [,700 acres and surrounded by rolling farm lands, the 
summer home of many of the best familiesof Detroit. The < Irion

on its eastern shore, affords good hotel and boarding facilities. 

Alma, situated in the center of the peninsula near the highest 
point of Gratiot County, is seventy-six miles from Grand Rapids, 
and is famous for its sanitarium, its bromide mineral water, and 
its fine dry air. The Sanitarium Company have spared no expense , 
in making this institution strictly first class in every particular. 
Its fine building of brick and stone incorporates all modern con- 
veniences. All forms of treatment are employed, and it possesses 
great attractions as an ideal rest and restorative resort. The Alma

Niagara. Falls 

The Michigan Central has deservedly won its title of "The 
Niagara Falls Route." because it is the only railroad running directly 
by and in full view of the great cataract, stopping all its day trains 
for five minutes at Falls View on the Canada side. 

Coming out suddenly upon the bold bluff, a hundred and fifty 
feet above the river, the tram stops, and the passengers step out at 
Falls View. It is rightly named, for from no other point can so 
extensive and comprehensive a view be obtained. For miles to the 
right one looks up the broad river, shining like silver in the sunlight, 
as the waters of the great lakes sweep grandly down to the Rapids, 
where they foam and rage and roar in their first descent. Directly 
below is the curve of the gigantic Horseshoe, over which pours the 
now emerald Hood into the abyss from which rises the great column 
of spray, soaring into many-tinted clouds. Opposite are the green 
wooded islands and the American Fall, like a screen of Gothic tracery; 
and still farther the rocky walls of the great gorge spanned by the 
suspension foot-bridge. Beyond the river, frorii behind the groves 
of the State Reservation, rise the spn-es and great hotels of the city 
of Niagara Falls. The traveler, however, should stop over at 
Niagara Falls as long as his time permits; and as he sees it from 
the different points of view and under varying aspects he will gain 
an increased sense of its magnitude and its magnificence. The 
banks of the river upon either side of the Falls have been reserved 
1 iv the Canadian and New York State governments as public parks

of $100,000,000 will eventually be energized from the same inexhaustible 
source, without materially reducing the current of water passing over the Falls. 

At Niagara-on-the-Lake tourists' who prefer to continue their journey by water may 
take one of the stanch steamers of the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Co. along the 
Ontario shore of Lake Ontario, via Toronto and the Bay of Quinte, Kingston, and the 
Thousand Islands, a trip rich in novel experiences for Yankee travelers who have confined 
their excursions within their own State lines. 



Niagara Falls, N. Y., is now a full-fledged city with a share of the electric 
energy communicated by the cataract. Here another great cereal food factory 
keeps hundreds of people employed, and even provides a park for a children's 
playground and a convention hall for public use. This is, indeed, the electric 
city of the age, and Niagara Falls is already more interesting to many people 
on account of the almost boundless power of which it is the source, than as a 
mere spectacle. The two plants upon either side of the river are the greatest 
in the world, and will 
soon be supplying 
150,000 horse-power 
within a radius of fifty

Buffalo, a splendid city of 350,000, finely situated oil the eastern shore 
of Lake Erie, with stately buildings and beautiful parks, claims only a 
brief pause in the tourist's eastern flight. At Syracuse the R., W. & O. 
Division of the New York Central carries the tourist to Clayton on the 
St. Lawrence, the gateway of the rail mute to the Thousand Islands, 
Alexandria Bay, and the River St. Lawrence. Here steamer is usually 
taken for the trip down the river. 

Buffalo is indeed the gateway of many interesting routes of travel in 
different directions. The Niagara River Gorge, and the lake trips to the 
Canada side, already alluded to; the trip to the St Lawrence, via Rochester 

and ( Iswego, or 





via Syracuse; 

the midland HRherllnt 

lake region of 

New York, the Adirondaeks, and all the resorts to the east. Buffalo, with 
its many excellent hotels, line parks, beautiful suburbs, and cool lake 
breezes, is a popular convention city and a convenient stopping place for 
those who vvish to study the Niagara neighborhood and the lakes at leisure. 
Seven miles of breakwater, constructed by the Government, make an 
artificial harbor, from which the great freight carriers, as well as the palatial 
Steamers of the Northern Steamship Company, the D. & B. Line, and others, 
sail for Detroit and the upper lakes, but smaller excursion steamers ply to 
Fort Erie, Grand Island. Port Colborne, at the mouth of the Welland Canal, 
and other favorite resorts. A truly regal city is Buffalo, combining thi 
solidity and conservatism of the East with the enterprise, activity, and fresh 
young beauty of the West. Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Detroit, and Chicago

The Royal River of St. Lawrence 

The Thousand Islands. The River St. Lawrence, where it opens out 
from Lake Ontario, is some fifteen miles wide, and in that capacious throat 
for some forty miles are scattered not a thousand islands, but seventeen 
hundred, some of them bare rocks and others miles in extent, and all of 
such beauty in the luxuriance and variety of vegetation and the shimmering 
green of the waters, which teem with the best fish to be 
found on the continent, that the region has become the 
summer park preeminent of the wealthiest and most 
exclusive classes, as well as the popular resort for 
thousands of health seekers, and the shrine of the land- 
scape artists and all lovers of nature. Twelve miles 
below Clayton is Alexandria Bay, known as the Sara- 
toga of the St. Lawrence, a 
popular center of fashionable 
life, and below are the Lakes 



of Theresa, known for the rare minerals of their shores and for their good fishing 
and romantic scenery. 

Ogdensburg, "the Maple City," is beautifully located at the mouth of the Oswe- 
gatchie, whose brown flood pours into the St. Lawrence in singular contrast to the clear 
green waters of the latter. Massena Springs, on Grass River, is the terminus of the 
main line of the R., W. & O., thirteen miles below Norwood and 300 miles from 
Niagara Falls. The springs themselves, of great medicinal value, are a mile distant 
on the Raquette. 

The Rapids of the St. Lawrence begin but a few miles below Ogdensburg, and 
the trip is one that has not its like in all America, an experience full of pleasure and

The Empire State 

The trip through New York Suite over the New York Central is one which 
for its picturesqueness and educational value should be taken by day, note book 
m hand. Town after town is passed in bewildering succession, the tall chim- 
neys and great warehouses betokening an amazing activity, while the intervening 
country is dotted with fine white farm-houses and plethoric red barns. 

The Empire State i* the appropriate name for that State in the Union which 
leads in population, in political importance, in wealth, in industry, and in com- 
merce, and which has appropriately given its name to the fastest long-distance 
railway train in the world, the Empire State Express of the New York Central, 
which flashes like a meteor, 



twice every day, across the 
length and breadth of the State. 
New York offers in itself an 
4, /„„,„/„,/, Lodge almost endless variety of moun- 

tain, lake, liver, and watering-place resorts. One may tarry in the beautiful interior 
lake region, on the shores of Seneca, Cayuga, Owasco, Oneida, or any of a dozen 
other beautiful lakes, or push his way into the more rugged northern country, in 
H hat was in the old days called the No.th Woods* or in the wild Adirondack region, 
m iw being turned by the railroads and the inns into a vast pleasure ground a thousand 
square miles in extent, or he may push on down the Mohawk Valley to Albany, the 
center of a score of famous summer resorts, from Lake George on the north to the 
Catskills on the south. 

The Lake Country. What Windermere, Grasmere, and Ulswater in West- 
moreland are to England, the lakes of Central New York are to us. " Wordsworth's 
country" is not more beautiful than our Canandaigua, Watkins Glen, and the land

of Leather Stocking. Canandaigua, Keuka, Seneca, Cayuga, Owasco, and Skaneateles 
lakes are situated on the Auburn Division of the New York Central, with frequent 
train service to Buffalo on the west and Albany on the east. Oneida Lake, the largest 
of the group, lies north of the main line of the New York Central. The Jiotels are 
generally good and inexpensive, and there is an abundance of boarding houses. Special 
information upon the resorts of New York State will be sent upon application. 

The AdirondacKs 

The Adirondacks and the North Woods. New York State has shown her wisdom 
in making a grand State park in this once pathless wilderness of mountain and valley, 
lake and forest, protecting its game and preserving its natural beauties. The Adiron- 
dack Division of the New York Central leaves the main line at Utica, and takes a 
northeasterly course through the unbroken forest and along crystal streams teeming 
with trout, the deer

Montreal. From Loon Lake the Chateaugay Railroad 
may be taken to the Chateaugay Lakes, Chazy Lake, 
and Plattsburg on Lake Champlain.

Central, in connection with the Adirondack Division of 
the New York Central, is the natural " blazed trail " from 

Chicago and Detroit to the interior of the Adirondack °" '" ttnmac ""■'""" 

region. The convenience of the train service and sched- 
ule, including the picturesque crossing of Detroit River, the morning stop at Niagara Falls, and the daylight ride through the 
garden country of Western New York and the virgin forests of the North, have made this route the favorite one for all tourists 
from the West. Agents of the Michigan Central, or the New York Central, will furnish all information desired regarding routes, 
time, hotels, etc., and choice of routes will be found at the front of this booklet.

Saratoga Springs, i

Saratoga Springs 

Saratoga Springs, one of the most popular and fashionable resorts 
on the continent, is twenty-two miles, from Schenectady and thirty-eight 
miles from Albany, on the D. & H. The village, which is exceedingly 
beautiful, offers many attractions, is charmingly located, and surrounded 
by beautiful scenery. There are twenty-eight springs in the village, no- 
two precisely alike; the hotels are colossal and magnificent, the boarding 
houses numerous and excellent, and the facilities for amusement illimit- 
able. The walks and drives are full of interest, that to the beautiful 
Saratoga Lake, four miles distant, over a fine macadamized road, divided 
in the center by a row of shade trees, being the most noted. A narrow 
gau g e rail- 
road, ten 
miles long, 
runs to the 
summit of 



Mount Mc- 
Gregor , 

which affords extended views of the valley of the Hudson and the battle- 
fields of Bemis Heights and Saratoga. From Saratoga Springs theroadruns 
northward, crossing the Hudsonat Fort Edward, whence a branch diverges 
via Glens Falls to Caldwell, at the head of Lake George. From the pretty 
town that clusters about the great Fort William Henry Hotel, built on the 
site of the historic old fortification, steamers descend this loveliest of 
lakes, " the silvery Horicon," to Baldwin, the terminus of another branch 
which rejoins the main line at Fort Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain.

The Romantic Hudson 




The Hudson River. European tourists have often told 
us that \vc do not appreciate our Hudson River. That most 
accomplished of travelers, Bayard Taylor, it is true, told us 
years ago that "there is one river which, from its source to 
the ocean, unrolls a long chain of landscapes wherein there- 
is no tame feature, but each successive view presents new 
combinations of beauty and majesty, which other rivers may- 
surpass in sections but none rival as a whole— and its name- 
is the Hudson." 

From quaint' old Albany, the capital city, whose I 
charter more than two centuries ago referred to "our ancient 
city," the city founded in the time of William, Prince of 
Orange, and named by the Dutch in his honor, whose magnifi- 
cent capitol, library, and museum are worth traveling across a 
continent to see, one goes past the old whaling port of Hud- 
son; past Cat skill, with the Blue Mountains behind it, rich in 
traditions of Rip Van Winkle and Hendrick's crew; past King- 
ston, the colonial capital of the State; past Foughkeepsie, the home of Benson J. Lossing, with its Vassar College; Newburgh, with 
Washington's headquarters; past West Point, which, to the American soldier, marks the bravery of many ami the foul treason of 
one; through the Highlands, perhaps the most beautiful spot on this most beautiful of livers, past half a hundred towns and 
points of interest, regarding which the guide lx>..ks and the folders of the New York Central and the Hudson River Day Line give 
led information. Those who prefer the more leisurely mode of travel may take one of the palatial steamers of the Day Line, the 
finest river boats in the world, from Albany to New York, and thus have the entire day to enjoy the scenery of both sides of the 
river, a day to be remembered with pleasure ever afterward.

New York City begins at Yonkers— one might almost say at 
Poughkeepsie, but from Yonkers south to the Battery it is all New 
York City, the great metropolis which has no peer in all the world 
but London and Paris, and to see which, for any child of the 
West, is an education. There are no unsightly factory yards or 
tenements to be seen as we approach by rail, nothing but splen- 
did villas crowning the heights, and here and there giving way to 
the solid blocks and paved streets of the metropolis. The ele- 
vated roads show us the presence of urban traffic. At last, after 
several miles of brick-walled sunken way, the train rushes into 
the Grand Central Station, for many years the only railroad 
station in the city of New York, and now about to be recon- 
structed at the cost of millions of dollars, to be in every way 
worthy of the great financial and commercial metropolis of the 
nation. It is right in the heart of the great city, and all tedious 
ferry transfers of person and baggage are avoided. The best 
hotels in the city are not far off, and some are close at hand. 
It is a station of the elevated railway and of the new rapid, 
transit subway, to be opened for traffic this year of wonders, 
A. D. 1904, whose swift trains will quickly reach any part of 
the city. Courteous attendants meet ladies and children and 
give them suitable assistance and direction. 
All roads lead to Rome, but there is only one road to the Hudson River, and that is marked out by the old route of the 
pioneers to the West, the road now followed by the Michigan Central and New York Central & Hudson River railroads, and the 
splendid train service of the Michigan Central, with its picturesque scenery and the morning or evening stop at Niagara Falls, 
makes it the chosen route of discriminating tourists.

Beautiful Berkshire 

The Berkshires. The Berkshire Range stood as an impassable bar- 
rier across the western fcnd of Massachusetts until 1S42, when the Western 
Railroad, afterward the Boston & Albany, was constructed. There was 
great rejoicing in the Massachusetts capital when communication was 
thus opened to the Hudson, and thence from Albany to Lake Eric. 
The Berkshires, which can scarcely be called mountains, form an elevated 
plateau of such beauty that men of wealth in the great cities have taken 
advantage of their green slopes for the establishment of their summer 
homes, and there are probably more villas of this character anions the 
Berkshires than in any other region of similar extent in the country. 
The hotels are of the highest class, and the little towns afford many 
boarding houses where excellent accommodations may be had.

Island light, and perhaps the mackerel fleet. A branch road runs down from Kennebunk to Kennebunkport, once a ship-building and 
fishing port of great importance. It is now a charming summer resort, and many enjoy spending a week or two among the stanch, 
old-fashioned farm-houses, built like ships, with quaint furnishings brought years ago from China and the South Seas. Biddeford 
and Saco are flourishing towns, the latter with numerous summer cottages. Three miles beyond Saco the railroad again reaches the 
ocean at Old Orchard Beach. Here are ten miles of summer cottages, hotels, etc., and the great summer camp-meeting, which 
answers for New England as Ocean, Grove and Asbury Park to the Middle States. Scarborough is an ancient port and was known to 
the cod fishermen before the Mayflower dropped her anchor at Plymouth.

Portland, the birthplace of Longfellow, anciently called Falmouth, dates from 1632, and the view from 
Monjoy (Mt. Joye) Hill is one of the finest on th_> coast. Portland is now one of the loveliest towns on the 
coast. Tun miles from Portland is the Isle of Shoals, consisting of some eighty rocky islets, reached by 
steamers four times a day during the summer. Lowell, AVhittier, Celia Thaxter, and others have painted 
them in verse and prose. Not far from Portland is Sebago Lake, and eastward lie Yarmouth, Brunswick. 
Vinal Haven, Mount Desert. Bar Harbor. 

Poland Spring has been famous for its mineral water for over a century. 
It is now one of the leading watering places of the country, celebrated far 
and wide. It is twenty-five miles north of Portland, with convenient train 

service via that 

city or Danville 

Junction. No 

place in all 

New England 

is more famous 

as a watering 

place than this 

little inland re- 
treat, once a 

quiet Shaker 

settlement.

the Ricker's Inn, built of logs at the Poland Spring by Jabez Ricker 
in 1793, has grown under the able management of his descendants to 
be one of the largest and most complete summer resorts in the country, 
and the medicinal waters of the spring are shipped to every country 
on the globe.

At Rockland, eighty miles from Portland, is another favorite resort 
known as the Samoset. It commands a sweeping view of Penobscot 
Bay for miles, and is protected from severe weather by a beautiful chain 
of islands forming an almost continuous arc of a circle whose lines seem 
taken ashore and continued on about a six-mile radius in the beautiful 
Camden Mountains. The Samoset, named after the first good Indian 
known to our colonial history, is a most admirably appointed house, and is 
kept by the Ricker Hotel Co. , which is sufficient warrant for its popularity. 

Franconia and WinnepesauRee 

The White Mountains. The rugged granite hills of New Hamp- 
shire are the northern culminations of the Appalachian System, and 
cover an area of over a thousand square miles. There are higher peaks 
in the West than Mount Washington, the king of the White Moun- 
tains, which rears its bold and time-scarred head a thousand feet more than a mile above the sea, but it is high enough for all 
practical purposes, and as a shrewd Yankee once remarked, "There would be no sense in having it any higher." The White 
Mountains are divided, topographically, by the famous Crawford Notch, through which runs the Maine Central Railroad, into two 
distinct groups, the Presidential Range, lying to the northeast, and the Franconia Range to the southwest. To the south of both lies 
Lake Winnepesaukee. The tourist ascending the Mount Washington Railway, which is more like a giant's stairway than the railways 
that prairie people are accustomed to, will have no difficulty in finding the Waldorf-Astoria of the place, for it is securely chained 
down upon the summit, with a few rocks on top to hold the roof in place. The panorama spread out below is magnificent beyond 
description, extending from the Connecticut River to the ocean. 

The intending tourist can hardly fail to find, in the various routes given in the front of this book, something to fit his liking and his 
purse. He may spend his holiday at some charming nearby resort in healthful Michigan, or he may select one of several routes to 
the seacoast or woods and lakes of Maine, returning by a different route, every hour and every mile being filled with thrilling story 
and delightful pictures. If further information regarding any particular route is needed, drop a line to any of the passenger repre- 
sentatives of the Michigan Central, given on another page.
